If you plan to use SQL Server Express, we strongly recommend downloading the package that includes Tools. This will also install SQL Server Management Studio that allows you to connect to the database directly and gives access to server settings.

If you are installing on a 32bit machine use:

SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe

If you are installing on a 64bit machine use:

SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe
